Powered in part by Placed Attribution, Millennial Media introduced its new Omni Channel Measurement Suite, which is designed to evaluate and demonstrate the effectiveness of mobile campaigns across a variety of important areas. Placed Attribution is a key part of the new solution, delivering insight into the impact of mobile ads on driving in-store retail visits.

According to Placed Founder and CEO David Shim, “The product we’re working on with Millennial Media allows advertisers to track conversions beyond the mobile device itself, and extend measurement into the physical world.”

With more than 90% of retail transactions taking place in the physical world, understanding the offline effect of mobile ads is arguably more important for a marketer’s bottom line than CTRs and other on-device metrics; especially for those brands with a brick-and-mortar presence.

Placed Attribution’s programmatic approach to measurement provides advertisers and agencies with consistent metrics to know if ad exposed audiences turned into in-aisle shoppers, with metrics such as Store Visits, Lift, and Demographic Features.

Millennial Media is the latest company to join a growing list of partners, which includes xAd and Verve, that are leveraging Placed Attribution to bring improved location intelligence to today’s burgeoning mobile advertising economy.

This week we introduced Placed Targeting, the first solution to bring a place-based lookalike model to the mobile advertising industry, enabling marketers to reach their consumers wherever they might be in the physical world. No longer limited by the standard geo-fence, advertisers can now expand campaigns to reach the right audiences at scale and at the right point in their decision-making process.

Placed joined forces with Verve as its official launch partner for Targeting; the first of a growing number of networks and publishers offering this new solution to their clients.

Measuring Conversions Beyond the Mobile Device

In addition to Placed Targeting, we recently brought to market Placed Attribution, giving advertisers a programmatic way to measure the impact of mobile ads on in-store visits. This new class of metrics finally answers one of mobile advertising’s most troublesome points: How do I close the loop between mobile ad dollars and offline behavior?

Placed teamed up with launch partner xAd, as the first of an expanding list of partners to offer Placed Attribution to any client aiming to drive in-store traffic from their mobile campaigns.

Location Beyond Latitude and Longitude

Supporting all these exciting, new solutions is the world’s largest opt-in location panel and our commitment to delivering the most accurate and robust location data available in the market. Continuously measuring the movements of more than 100,000 opt-in smartphone consumers, without the bias of check-in or survey data, we’ve mastered the art of privacy-forward, direct location measurement.

In total, Placed has measured more than 20 billion location points, mapping the connections between people, places and locations. These connections are what take location beyond an isolated latitude/longitude point to instead create a comprehensive and actionable story of consumers’ offline behaviors, weaved together by billions of location signals.

Placed Targeting and Attribution are already being used by some of the nation’s largest retailers, restaurants and brands. We’re looking forward to sharing the results of these campaigns in the near future and providing updates on our growing list of industry partners.
